Dear Mr. Payami,

I would need to see your *lapw1*.error files, unless they just say 
"error in lapw1", but I would suspect they contain more information 
since the one on your initial host finished.

Do you have a common nfs-mounted home directory?

Is the scratch directory in the same location on all machines?

Have you configured $remote in wien2k to ssh?

Can we see your .machines file?

Best regards,
Torsten Andersen.
